Welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist and school psychologist in New York. I have a passion for helping individuals better understand themselves in order to enhance their lives and achieve their goals. I particularly enjoy increasing access for those who have traditionally found it challenging to utilize mental health care.

While the field of psychology has made amazing strides in early identification and intervention for children, there are many adults who did not have access to these services when they were younger. Neurodivergent adults often expend a great deal of energy trying to learn social rules, suppress their true selves, and tolerate uncomfortable situations. I love that I have the opportunity to provide a safe space for them to find support and clarity.

I value a collaborative approach in which clients are seen as experts in their own experiences. It is essential that clients don't feel that being neurodivergent is something that they need to hide or try to change, but that they learn to appreciate their strengths and advocate for themselves.
